Doki Doki Literature Club: Normal Mode

Chapter 27

The next day, after school, I enter the club room. This morning, I did what I promised Sayori yesterday, except before I entered her house, she was ready. I tried to keep up my end of the bargain. I went to bed at a reasonable time.

I look around the room to see everyone here first. I am the last one here again, great.

Monika: "Hello again, John!"

John: "Hey Monika."

"I see everyone is busy."

Monika: "Yup!"

"Did you come up with any ideas for the spring festival?"

John: "Yes I did."

Monika: "Great!"

"I'll be more than happy to hear you out later!"

I smile.

John: "Alright!"

Monika trots away to grab a folder on the teacher's desk.

Sayori: "John, John!"

Sayori suddenly comes up to me.

Sayori: "I'm gonna go get some supplies from another classroom."

"Want to come with me?"

John: "Supplies?"

"What for?"

Sayori: "Well, it's for the upcoming festival."

"Me and Monika were gonna draft some posters and stuff."

"So I need to go find some crayons, and markers, and glue sticks..."

John: "Ah, I see."

"Sure, I'll go with you."

Sayori: "Yaay~"

"Okay Monika, we'll be back soon!"

Monika: "Ah, are you going with John to get the supplies?"

"There's no need to trouble yourself."

"I'd be happy to go with him."

Sayori: "Aw, but I wanted to go!"

"It's so much fun exploring empty classrooms and stuff!"

Monika: "Hehe, okay, okay."

"It was just a suggestion."

"See if you can find poster paper too, okay?"

Sayori: "Okaay~!"

"Ready, John?"

John: "Yep, let's go."

Sayori and I exit the clubroom. I follow behind as Sayori hums and skips around the hallway. Honestly...It feels like I'm taking a kid to the mall or something. Sayori finds pleasure in the simplest things sometimes.

John: "Hey, Sayori..."

"What exactly are your ideas for the spring festival, anyway?"

"It's not easy to put out an event based on literature..."

Sayori: "Ehehe!"

"I do have an idea."

"Don't you worry~

John: "Is that so...?"

Sayori: "Yup!"

"I plan on doing a poetry contest!"
